Licensing Setup

Note:ModelCenter Remote Execution must be installed before licensing can be configured.

Configuring Licensing Via Terminal (Linux)

1. Start a terminal and change directory to the MCRE licensing folder:

   cd MCRE/AnsysLicensing/shared_files/licensing 

2. Create a file in this folder called ansyslmd.ini.
3. Open this file in a text editor and add a line such as:

   SERVER=1055@avuew19licsrv01.win.ansys.com  

   For more information on the ansyslmd.ini file, see the Ansys Licensing Guide.

   The ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable can be used in place of the ansyslmd.inii file. The variable will supersede the ansyslmd.ini file.

4. Save the file and exit.

Configuring Licensing Via GUI

   1. The utility will open automatically during installation and can be configured then.
   2. It can also be opened from Start > ModelCenter > Ansys Client Licensing Settings.
   3. To run the utility on Linux, change directory into the MCRE folder and then enter the following command:

      sh configure_licensing.sh

2. Under "License Servers" in the left-hand menu, click the "FlexNet Publisher" option.
